  • 3. Energy Reserves, Pipeline Routes and the Legal Regime in the Caspian Sea
    3. Energy reserves, pipeline routes and the legal regime in the Caspian Sea John Roberts I. The energy reserves and production potential of the Caspian The issue of Caspian energy development has been dominated by four factors. The first is uncertain oil prices. These pose a challenge both to oilfield devel- opers and to the promoters of pipelines. The boom prices of 2000, coupled with supply shortages within the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), have made development of the resources of the Caspian area very attractive. By contrast, when oil prices hovered around the $10 per barrel level in late 1998 and early 1999, the price downturn threatened not only the viability of some of the more grandiose pipeline projects to carry Caspian oil to the outside world, but also the economics of basic oilfield exploration in the region. While there will be some fly-by-night operators who endeavour to secure swift returns in an era of high prices, the major energy developers, as well as the majority of smaller investors, will continue to predicate total production costs (including carriage to market) not exceeding $10–12 a barrel. The second is the geology and geography of the area. The importance of its geology was highlighted when two of the first four international consortia formed to look for oil in blocks off Azerbaijan where no wells had previously been drilled pulled out in the wake of poor results.1 The geography of the area involves the complex problem of export pipeline development and the chicken- and-egg question whether lack of pipelines is holding back oil and gas pro- duction or vice versa.

  • Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
    Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Demand, Supply and Future Perspectives for Sudan Synthesis report of a workshop held in Khartoum, 12-13 December 2010 The workshop was funded by UKaid from the Department for International Development Cover image: © UNAMID / Albert Gonzalez Farran This report is available online at: www.unep.org/sudan Disclaimer The material in this report does not necessarily represent the views of any of the organisations involved in the preparation and hosting of the workshop. It must be noted that some time has passed between the workshop and the dissemination of this report, during which some important changes have taken place, not least of which is the independence of South Sudan, a fact which greatly affects the national energy context. Critically, following the independence, the rate of deforestation in the Republic of Sudan has risen from 0.7% per year to 2.2% per year, making many of the discussions within this document all the more relevant. Whilst not directly affecting the production of LPG, which is largely derived from oil supplies north of the border with South Sudan, the wider context of the economics of the energy sector, and the economy as a whole, have changed. These changes are not reflected in this document. This being said, it is strongly asserted that this document still represents a useful contribution to the energy sector, particularly given its contribution to charting the breadth of perspectives on LPG in the Republic of Sudan.

Abstract: To make a profitable business, oil multinationalshave to include in their strategies the issue to transport crude from production sites to markets.EnteNazionaleIdrocarburi-Eni is the Italian state-owned oil company and a relevant oil player in the second half of the 20th century. This article focuses on Enito poin outthat oil businesses,to overcome trading limitations, invested in the creation of an oil transportation systemincluding naval fleets, ports and pipelines. Initially, the article displays the relationship between the oil market growth and the development of crude transportationsafter WWII until the early 1970s. Secondly, it analyses Eni‟s fleet, describingthe enlargement path of vesselsas well asthe increase in petroleum ships size, emphasising their limitations and constraints. Furthermore, it gives an international perspective. Finally, it analyses the development of ports and pipelines, i.e. the final tiles that complete the oil supply chain. Introduction In the 20th century,petroleumbecame a pivotal energy resource in developed nations, as well as a key component in the manufacturing of products and goods.
